Sherwood's Photo Released

     Today the Cortland County Sheriff''s department and City of Cortland police jointly released a photo of Sherwood and requested public assistance in locating him. He is wanted for assault and battery, false impersonation and destruction of public property.

    Sherwood, a locally trained, English-speaking chimp, has been on the lam since last September, 2011, when he went on a rampage in the county office building, assaulted former legislature chairman Jack B. Nimble and later impersonated him by assuming the chairmanship of the Cortland County legislature.
    Calling Sherwood a fugitive from justice, Sgt. Pepper of the Cortland police said:
     "We suspect someone in Cortland is harboring this fugitive from justice. We have our eye on a former mayor of Cortland, and we consider him a person of interest. I had planned to retire this year. However, I will not retire until Sherwood is apprehended and brought to justice. If you see this fugitive, phone Animal Control Officer Chris Bestochi at 607-7523-437610. Sherwood has an unpredictable temperament. Don't get too close to him--he throws a wicked left hook."
